A Hymn: Ye Are My Friends
Singing and composing hymns and other songs have been part of my life since my teenage days
Composer’s Foreword
I am not good in notes, but from the local church trainings while in choir, I have come around with this hymn using another hymn. If you know the hymn beneath, then you can join me to sing this song unto the Lord.
I Have Found a Friend In Jesus - The Lily of the Valley (Lyrics)
The Composed Song
1. Henceforth, I ‘ll again not call you my servants any more
‘Cause servant do not know what his master doeth
However, what I will call thee is my very good friend
Therefore, I have even called you my good friend
Everyone that even has keepeth the statute I laid down
Even all the people are even my friends
No greater love than this one hath even a friend shown
That a person lays down his life for his own friends
Refrain/Chorus
You are even my friend and that when ye ‘re doing
All the commandments that I have given you
A friend there be that sticketh closer than brother
Even Jesus Christ is this type of friend
2. I am the one who chose you, you have not chosen me
And I ‘ve placed you at a very good position
That ye may even go out to be bringing forth fruits
And so that thine fruits should even remaineth
Yea, this is my ‘mandment that ye love one ‘nother
Even as I have shown my love unto thee
When you are doing even this all men shall even know that
Ye are even indeed my disciples
Refrain/Chorus
3. Just as even it is that its iron that sharpneth iron
So is a true friend e’en unto his friend
True friend will not even leave you, no not even for once
For ever he ‘ll even stick unto thee
He ‘ll stay even by thee during the drought or rain
And he ‘ll be helping you in your weaknesses
Jesus only is the friend who can do this for man
And Jesus Christ alone is the true friend
Refrain/Chorus
4. For we ‘ve even gotten a friend that exceeds world’s friends
When we ‘re talking with him we have confidence
For we have been set free and we are no longer slaves
In his name we can ask for just anything
Whatsoever that we ask even in Jesus name
That thing God will even do for us
For we ‘re obeying his wills, our faith ‘re r’posed in him
He ‘ll even answer the request of his friends
Refrain/Chorus
